## Summary

A light, C-shaped SDS-plus hammer drill for fixing work: 1.8 J impact energy, 18 mm maximum in concrete and a sweet spot at 5–10 mm. The hammer action can be switched off for drilling tiles, and a Bluetooth battery starts the extractor automatically.

## Why this one

- **1.8 J impact**: Pneumatic hammer mechanism with SDS-plus holder.
- **Hammer off**: Rotary-only mode for tiles and wood.
- **Auto-start extraction**: Bluetooth battery switches on a paired CLEANTEC extractor.
- **Vibration damping**: Absorbs impact energy before it reaches the hands.

## The story

### Built for fixing, not demolition

Interior fitters, electricians and kitchen installers spend most of their drilling time on 6 and 8 mm holes for plugs, ceiling hangers and rails. The BHC 18 is sized for exactly that: 1.8 kg, balanced for overhead work and quick in concrete and brick thanks to the brushless EC-TEC motor. It also cores socket holes up to 68 mm in sand-lime brick.

### Less vibration, less dust

Vibration damping absorbs much of the hammer's impact before it reaches your hands, which matters over a day of ceiling work. With a Bluetooth battery pack the CLEANTEC extractor switches on with the drill, so the dust nozzle or extraction attachment pulls debris away at the hole. The safety clutch limits kickback when a bit jams on rebar. The Basic version ships with side handle and depth stop in a Systainer³.
